Case becomes Mary Todd Lincoln at The Columns

MILFORD, PA — In honor of Women’s History Month—and the Lincoln Bicentennial—the Pike County Historical Society will present a program with actress Stacy Case in a portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln. The one-woman show will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 13, in the Foundation Room of the Columns Museum, located at 608 Broad Street.

Mary was an active partner to Abe in his political career. She was an audacious, highly intelligent woman who challenged the limits of a day that kept women from political discourse. Mary was often noticed, and not always favorably. There was an enormous amount of sadness and loss in her life.

Case’s portrayal is staged in the last years of Mrs. Lincoln’s life, when, sadly, she spent her days in the solitude of a room she occupied in her sister’s house, packing and unpacking the many trunks which held her possessions. Her memories and thoughts are brought to life by Case.
